MSCA PF 2021: Evaluation Procedure
• Proposals will be evaluated by one of the eight main evaluation panels:
• Each panel will establish two ranked lists, one for European and one for Global Postdoctoral Fellowships
• Seals of Excellence will be awarded to applications with a total score equal to or higher than 85%, but which cannot be funded due to lack of budget available to the call.

MSCA PF 2021: Evaluation Procedure
• Only one proposal per individual researcher can be submitted.
• In case of several proposals involving the same individual researcher, only the last submitted one will be considered eligible.
• If proposals with the same research objectives and work plan are submitted for different researchers, only the first submitted one will be considered eligible
![Page 14: Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Horizon Europe](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041811/62545341b1396301df738196/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
MSCA PF 2021: Criteria and Equal Scores
1. The proposals will be prioritised according to the scores they have been awarded for the criterion ‘Excellence’. When these scores are equal, priority will be based on scores for the criterion ‘Impact’.
2. If necessary, the gender balance among postdoctoral fellows will be used as a factor for prioritisation.
3. If a distinction still cannot be made, the panel may decide to further prioritise by considering other factors such as gender and other diversity aspects in the research activities, participation of the non-academic sector (including involvement of SMEs), geographical diversity, favourable employment and working conditions or relationship to the Horizon Europe objectives in general.
Criteria Weight Priority
(ex.aequo)
Excellence 50% 1
Impact 30% 2
Implementation 20% 3

MSCA PF 2021: Relevant concepts
• Appropriate level of supervision depends on the career stage of both parties and the expectations of the project
• Supervisors need to be committed and involved for the full duration of the fellowship
• Make sure the supervisor is on board with the career development plans

MSCA PF 2021: General tips for proposal writing
About the project :
• A PF proposal is not a research proposal as such, but a proposal for training in research
• Don´t be over-ambitious –it is a common flaw that the work plan is not realistic
• Be precise – less is sometimes more; structure the proposal well
• Try to have the best match researcher/supervisor/Host Institution
About the researchers´ CV:
• CV don´t have to be perfect, but the training should mend any shortcomings
• The employability after the fellowship is key

General Approach:
• It is an individual project but a collaborative work.
• Involve the HOST institution: European Projects Offices / Transfer of Technology Offices / HR Departments, other colleagues…
• National Contact Points…
• Get familiar with the Funding and Tenders´Portal, upload a version, you will be able to rewrite it
About the evaluation:
• The weighting of criteria is 50% -30% -20%. You need to perform at close to 100% on each
• Follow the template –the evaluators need to find all key points
• The reviewers may not be specialists in the field
• “Una imagen vale más que mil palabras”: use visuals to provide global information at a glance
